"When was Bia's first unofficial appearance in the strip?"
I'm looking for the link, but I believe it was during one of Bud's nightmares (either that, or the girls were retelling Monica how the Chimera destroyed everything). On that page, though I forget the order, we see the Chimera approaching, and we also see a house, and a girl coming out of the front door (Bia), with a panicked look on her face in the next panel as the Chimera destroys the land.
This was much before the bit where we see Bia's interaction with Charon, where we find out there were two subsequent walls of fire, the first was having happened just before we see the scene (Bia was hiding behind a rock)), and the second one we see Bia see, and Charon takes the brunt of it, and it leaves a reverse shadow where Bia stands. He then takes her away to a safer place, and talks about the prophecy. But this nightmare of Bud's (or the girls talking to Monica) takes place before that scene, in the comics.
